My B there. Need to get the Permanent Duration on there as well, but how would you diminish the size except by making a Drawback of the size Progression?

Extra Effort to stunt an extra AP off Sun Dragon's Array: Create Object 1(5ft blocks 'programmable matter', Extras: Duration 2(Permanent); Feats: Precise)[5PP]

"Be at ease, I have a plan: programmable matter. My sister showed me how to make the black diamonds. Behold!" Releasing Benicio, Leroy stepped a few steps from him and clapsed his hands together into a hard tangle of flesh and bone. Taking a long, slow breath, the scarred boy drew his hands apart, sweat beading on his face as it contorted in concentration, golden eyes fixed on a bead of perfect darkness between his fingers Arms shaking with the strain, Leroy held his hands at shoulder-width as the point expanded by fits and jerks, hardening and stabilizing under the Dragon Prince's fevering gaze into a rectangular block of glossy black crystal. Something pulsed in its heart, shimmering waves like some dark rainbow washing through. Letting out the breath he'd taken in eternities ago with a wheezing gasp, Leroy fell to his knees, clutching his creation in hands gone pale with loss of blood. The forces at work had pushed it up past his slender wrists. Hauling himself up with a chair, Leroy offered the block to Benicio, his hand shaking so badly it looked more like he was trying to cast a spell on the other boy. "H-here, t-t-take. M-ma-make my-my own, in a-a minute. Too much. Too...too fast." He settled into the chair like a sack of potatos, "Easy...enough to learn. Responds to your thoughts. Changes shape, mass, can provide power and shape energy, one need only have the mind for it. I have heard you emulate a hero of uncommon cunning and genius, perhaps this will be a fitting challenge!" Remembering their instructor, he waved to Valeria "Do not worry, I will be fine. Merely need a minute." He smiled reassuringly.

I don't know who Ari is, but absolutely. Though if I could make one suggestion, Shofet, put everyone in one bucket.

OOC thread for this thread. Cruisin' for a high-tech bruisin'. @Tiffany Korta @angrydurf @Dr Archeville @Cubismo @Grumblefloof Everyone gets 1HP to start for beginning in the midst of combat without immediate cover. Captain Imamba and the crew of the Viper Star will use the Soldier stat block from the Core Rules, with the addition of the Teamwork, Improved Aim and Prone Fighting Feats. Their weapons are blasters set to the Stun Alternate Effect. Initiative rolls for the crew: 16. Block of 10 NPCs. After Initiative rolls, the crew will take a surprise round.

GM October 10th, 6PM, 2019 Riverside, the docks, the cargo freighter Viper Star At the captain's shout, the previously stunned and frightened crew dove under railings, slid back hatches or simply discarded bulky survival suits to reveal the sleek, glowing and deceptively-primitivist designs of Dakanan technology. The rustic sound of their propellor cut abruptly, replaced with the distinct thrumm of a daka-controlled propulsion system. The formerly-leisurely pace of the Viper Star noticeably jumped, the freighter turning to head for the North Bay. "I'm sorry," Captain Imamba said, thoroughly looking it, "but we can't wait until everyone who needs our help can afford it. And I can't let loyalty to Dakana stand in the way of my duty as a thinking, feeling human being. Crew, attack!" The crystal arcs crackled, red light flashed, and the air filled with the muted roar of sonic pulses hailing down on the small group of students!

recruitment Calling All Knights! An Emerald City Adventure (Recruitment)
Ari replied to Brown Dynamite's topic in Archives
That sucks, HGM! Glad you found an interim solution, at least. -
"'Davyd' is a wonderful effort! For the sale of brevity, let us call me 'Roy'. I know we shall be good friends, squaddie!" Thumping Mia heartily on the shoulder and sliding elegantly to his feet, Leroy seemed to teleport across the room in a flash of gold and blue, sliding an arm companionably around Benicio. "Good Ben...!" "Ah! That is to say, additional good Ben! As distinct from yourself, good Ben," he smiled disarmingly at Benjamin, "welcome! Instructor Valeria has asked us to find our own path. What would you like to make? Mustafic-Markov in that seat is a font of creation and genius, she would be a splendid partner! I am afraid I shall be busy for a while..." he turned brightly back to Benicio, tapping him lightly on the nose "...as I must challenge you, additional good Ben, to a build-off! Name your mechanism or what have you. We shall take it to the top rope of invention! Come, away from this crowded corner!" As he'd been talking, Leroy had been suggesting by very insistent movements of his arm and legs that he and Benicio go to the benches furthest from Judy, Ashley and Nick.

That seems pretty reasonable to me, for sure Dok. It's a big ship, plenty of ways to help the fight besides the slugging of it out. So WL, RL, SD&D, Octoman and Artificer. One more and we're off. And since this is supposed to kick off an at least short storyline, if other folks want involved in action-y things it provides a handy framework and common goal/enemies to work with. Not opposed to starting more fightsmanships.

Inside-Sun Dragon "I suppose the unpacking needs doing sooner or later. Yet it is such a lovely day, Kameron Kingdom. I simply must admire it for a time! A pleasure to meet you, Heroditus Stylianos!" Waving after the other two, Leroy turned to one of the windows, smiling benevolently upon the sunlit planet as if it were his own work. Only after their footsteps receded did Leroy let out a long sigh and relax his grin, slumping forward until his head hit the glass. Staring outside at the Claremont Academy walls, he muttered under his breath "Fitting." Suddenly a girl had fallen out of the sky, a very familiar one, the sight banishing in an instant whatever Leroy had been thinking about. Shoving open the window he launched out across the grounds, waving furiously with both arms and legs, the robes flapping and swirling around him like the wings of a particularly ungainly and colorful bird. "Astrid! Hallooooo! Battle-maid, Ms. Thursday! It is I, Leroy, the boy who spent most of that fight with the goat-man-giant in a frozen mass!" he landed lightly on the ground next to her, his eyes piercing gold and dancing with joy, "How has your summer been? What is Asgard like? Were there any dogs?"

What: Action thread where Claremont students get mixed up in daka-infused tech smuggling ring. The smugglers are carrying mostly harmless medical equipment, the problem is the Dakanan power-armored royal Red Lion and his New Freedom mercenaries aiming to kill the smugglers for their crime against Dakana. Who: 3 additional Claremont students. Base team of White Lioness, Red Lynx and Sun Dragon/Dio. Preferably PL10. Where: Riverside docks. When: October 10th, 6PM, 2019

Drugs sounds like a messy, difficult problem without an easy solution, so Slipstream can't be part of this. But Mag-Mite can!

Hey that's a pretty good way to break it down KnightDisciple! For Sun Dragon & Dio: Progressively break from homeworld and also from Prime expectations. Help people in ludicrous and heavy-handed ways as they discover their own ways of doing things. Seek out sources of power and super-moves when confronted by problems requiring emotional and intellectual growth. Orange Squad: Face powerful (not necessarily physical)threats related to the families of the Squad members. Clash over differing worldviews and cultural backgrounds. Destroy important or valuable things in the course of protecting others.

"Ah! Squadmate Mustafic-Markov! Here you are!" Leroy slid in through the door, smiling from ear to ear, his uniform's jacket over one shoulder and his golden eyes sparkling in the reddening light. Pausing behind Judy's chair to give her a kiss on the cheek and a murmured "You look wonderful, Dee", he dropped lightly into a chair beside Mia and offered her a slender hand. "Leroy Ransom-Conte, also of Orange Squad. Pleasure to meet you in person!" He looked curiously about the room, noting the computers and electronics benches lining the place as if for the first time. Catching sight of Heroditus he waved enthusiastically to the other boy, "Mr. Stylianos! How splendid! I was afraid I would be the only one who has no notion what most of this apparatus does!" "Instructor Velásquez, what does this melange of mystery do?" He rested his chin on his folded hands, scarred face shining and gazing up at Valeria almost worshipfully.

What do folks want to do with their Claremont Squads? Personal and group goals, relationships, all that good stuff. Who would like to take the lead on GMing for those #squadgoals? I would be happy to start GMing for Green Squad.

Inside-Sun Dragon "This is no fancy, Kameron Kingdom. Judy Smith knew I was sincere and was agreeing to have me when Ashley broke in claiming their parents would not approve! The parents they just lost last year! Whom she never speaks of!" Leroy frowned, rubbing his chin, his tattoos of monsters and destruction shimmering across his exposed upper body, "The more I learn, the more I wonder...anyway!" He rounded suddenly on Kam again, golden eyes bright, "Her fears are groundless! We will not be wed for at least another two years and Dee does not let me off the claw easily should I cause her pain or worry. After graduation we will be adept and well-connected heroes who truly understand one another, my family will have accepted her into the fold and I will have found a way for her to live exactly as she wishes. Our future together will be glorious and nothing can stop that!" He turned to the Atlantean occult engineer, positively vibrating with excitement, "Good Heroditus, I must introduce you to someone, a Surfacer named Nicole. Her talents are precisely in your wheelhouse and of matchless fusion in the Arts. I must consult with you both soon over the movements of souls." Gesturing out the window he went on darkly "This world is fraught and wounded, and so much of it hecause people are trapped in the bodies of their birth. A solution must be found, and soon!" "Oh! Kameron, I neglected to ask: how was your summer, my friend?" He smiled cheerfully up at the other boy. "Mine was endless family gatherings and nodding politely at severed heads." He rolled his eyes, laughing at the mere notion.

Alrighty. So. For spaceship encounter, would @Zeitgeist Blue Salvo roll Knowledge(Cosmology) to identify the vessel, Max DC25, @RocketLord UFO roll Notice to check for activity around the vessel, Max DC15 and @Azuth65 Gauss roll Knowledge(Physical Sciences) to get an idea of what this thing is made of that could help them, Max DC15. For ceremony encounter, would @Thevshi Squire Kath'Lana roll Sense Motive to check for suspicious activity in the crowd, Max DC20, @Tiffany Korta Traveller roll Diplomacy to get a good spot and additional allies for a potential fight, Max DC25, @Dr Archeville Horrorshow roll Stealth to blend in as a very small Li or similarly-innocuous entity or object, Max DC20, @Heritage Crystal-Gazer roll Knowledge(Civics) to guage the most important non-obvious figures present, Max DC15.

What: A game of MASKS: The Next Generation by Magpie Games. Some young superheroes sent to look into someone crank-calling the Exemplars' base, the call traced to an old spite house in the middle of downtown Halcyon City. Spooks and more abound. Who: Up to 5 players. Where: Discord, over voice chat. When: To be determined after group assembled. All materials provided, no game mastery or even basic understanding required for joining.

Sun Dragon and Dio are very in.

Damn you inconsistent grammar rules.

To Aquaria, Leroy Ransom-Conte smelled like charring whale-meat. Despite hs cheery air the boy stank of death and ashes, it was faint and covered up by a citrus scent and Dio's unmistakable musk, but it was there. At Heroditus Stylianos and Benicio's comments and questions he flinched visibly, hurriedly half-raising out of his seat to speak. "I-good Ackweera, Artificer Stylianos was a trifle careless. What was meant is to ask, what would help your people survive?" "The Lion...my mother told me many times a people is defined by their stories, even more than blood or land. What you say sounds to me like this is true of your people. Even if others had your shape, I doubt they would sing the same."
-
Alright, so, unless there are any objections I'd like to split it as so: Spaceship encounter: Salvo, NPC UFO, Gauss, Ceremony encounter: Traveler, Crystal-Gazer, Horrorshow, Squire Kath'Lana That work for people?

Enthusiastic clapping erupted from the third row, Leroy Ransom-Conte bright as the Sun in a gold and yellow three-piece suit styled after the old private school uniform, down to a shield on the left jacket breast. His long hair rested in a thick braid on his right shoulder, feeding into a golden pyramid. Glancing down at a notebook already full of dense handwritten marks in a jagged sort of cuneiform script, the beaming young man spoke up for the first time. "Good Ackweera, you have met my dragon, Dio, though he was loathe to say where or how. He wishes to ask, your history is dedicated to Hydra and Dagon, but many of the ruins taken as Lemurian bear what we Atlanteans call 'the Yellow Sign'. It turns us into reptilian beings and is considered an evil mark thanks to ties with unfriendly otherdimensional entities, does it have some significance to Deep Ones as well?" Leroy leaned partly over his desk, golden eyes gleaming in a way oddly like Coral Snake's had those years back. "As well, do you know any way for us to learn your language? I recognize of course you have limited time, but might common understanding weaken this blood-feud?"
